    Can I take one out and put him in the tank? If not and I have to go buy one, will my sharks eat the snail? They are pretty aggressive lil guys...

    I don't think SW snails would be able to survive in FW but I could be wrong. If not, then just go buy a small FW plant and more than likely, you would get snail eggs on the plant and in a matter of days you would begin to see lots of snails. Some sharks would eat baby snails with soft shells.
